------------------------------
YES... Finally, i got it to work:
/web/cgi-bin/php5 $HOME/html/download/call/welcome.php
Since Godaddy only allow hourly schedule task, i guess the only work around
to have it running every minute is to follow Ferdhie suggestion:
set_time_limit(0);
while( true ) {
do_your_stuff();
sleep(60); // 60 seconds
}
Thanks for all the help.
